Meadows Monday memo

REGULAR FALL SCHEDULE THIS WEEK

Hollywood Casino at The Meadows returns to its regular fall harness racing schedule this week, with racing at 12:45pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons.

RECORD SETTER GOES FOR 4^TH IN A ROW

Winslow, now a winner of three straight, will go for win #4 in the last five starts in Thursday’s feature race, the $18,000 Open trot.  The gelded son of Swan For All, owned by David Yoder, came to the Meadows in early September from Hoosier Park.  After a second place effort in his local debut, he has now reeled off three straight wins, in 1:51.3, 1:51.1 and 1:51.2.  It is believed to be the first time in track history that a trotter has gone under 1:52 in three consecutive Meadows starts.  The 1:51.1 effort is the track record for 4TG. Aaron Merriman has driven him in all four local efforts, and is listed to drive again on Thursday.

ITALIAN TROTTER WINS US DEBUT

The Meadows doesn’t get too many shippers from Italy, but the Scott Betts Stable has brought in a few in recent years.  Last week, Gustav Trio IT made his US debut for the Betts barn, competing in a NW2 lifetime trot.  The 3YO gelding by Ringostarr Treb went wire to wire with Betts in the bike, scoring in 1:56.3.  He will be back in the same class, still under the $20,000 lifetime earnings cap, in Thursday’s 11^th race.
